G. Mennen Williams has recommended a $17,866,050 Uni- versity operating budget for 1953-54, slashing by nearly three million dollars the original $20,631,283 request. Capital outlay requests totalling $9,930,000 were pared down to $1,915,000 in the Governor's detailed budget suggestions, made public yesterday.

Williams' aique plea for prompt, *ipartisan ction by the legislature to avert ate bankruptcy got a mixed re- ction yesterday from the law- akers. Generally, the House expressed ope and cautious confidence that rilliams was sincere in wanting >operation, while the Senate was old and critical. WILLIAMS' 3,000-word message, elivered in person yesterday .orning, was unique in that it ropped all the usual gubernator- .1 recommendations for legisla- ve projects, and concentrated lely on the theme: "There is not a week or even a day to be wasted in coming to grips" with the state deficit, ex- pected to reach $90,000,000 by next June 3. "The hour is very late," the gov- ernor said. "Already we are suf- fering some of the preliminary symptoms of finaicial collapse." s w s HOUSE Republican leaders join- ed in referring to Williams' ad- dress as "constructive," "sincere," and in similar adjectives. But it was another, story in the senate. Sen. Carlton H. Morris (R-Kal- amazoo), the newly-elected GOP spokesman in that chamber, de- clared in-what was a Republican "policy" ieply that the governor, instead of "building Michigan"- as he promised in his campaigns- actually has "bankrupted Michi- gan." He charged that Williams' speech was actually a hidden re- newal of his demand for a corpora- tion profits tax and a rejection of so-called "consumer taxes." propriations to state-supported' colleges and universities. His,17 million recommendation is just five per cent greater than the 1952-53 operating budget grant of $16,930,000. According to University vice- president Marvin L. Niehuss, who conferred yesterday with legis- lators in Lansing, the Gov- ernor's recommendations\ are "quite inadequate. . Niehuss said he had anticipated a larger amount and will urge leg- islative committees to increase the Cuts in the operating budget, if the State Legislature upholds the Governor's recommended three million dollar reduction, will af- fect all areas of planned increases, Niehuss said. The University had asked an 18 per cent increase over last year's appropriation for three main rea- sons: increased operating costs; the need to make salary and wage adjustments for faculty and main- tenance personnel; and expecta- tions of higher future enrollment, making additions to the teaching staff necessary. * * * IN THE GOVERNOR'S detailed recommendations for capital out- lay expenditures,. library expan- siol came out with the top prior- ity-$1,080,000. Also number one on the University's request list, library expansion funds will pro- vide for planning and initial con- struction of a stack building on the North Campus as well as Gen- eral Library rehabilitation. A $660,000 sum is earmarked for University Hospital remodel- ing. Plans for a Medical Science Bldg. will be financed by a $100,000 fund under Gor. Wil- liams recommendation., t The Governor also allotted $865,- 000 for Architecture Bldg. modern- ization and $11,000 sum for addi- tional expansion plans. A $950,- 000 request for improvement of the University's inadequate heat- ing system was reduced to $64,000. Two items on the University's request list -- expanded Music School facilities and a fire sta- tion on North Campus-were not mentioned in Gov. Williams' re- port.

'M' To Meet Minnesota In Ice Tilts' Crucial Contests For Wolverines Back on the winning trail again after a 10-2 rout of Michigan State Wednesday night, the Wol- verine pucksters are preparing to meet their stiffest competition of the season when they face the Gophers of Minnesota in a two game set at the Coliseum this weekend. GOING INTO the 111th meet- ing between the two schools, a rivalry which dates back to 1922, Michigan is resting in second place in the Midwest Collegiate Ice Hockey League, having a total of eight points on five victories as against a lone loss to Denver in overtime. The Gophers, though in fifth place in the league, have lost only one more game than the Wolverines. They have picked up five points on four victories and two setbacks. Leading the Minnesota attack will be Mariucci's high-scoring combination of John Mayasich, Gene Campbell, and Dick Dough- erty. This trio holds down the first three spots in the individual scoring column in the league. Mayasich, brilliant Eveleth sophomore, is far ahead of his 1951-52 pace when he scored a record total of 62 points. He is currently leading the league with 37 points garnered on 20 goals and 17 assists. In addition to this top first line, in goalie Jim Mattson, the Gophers have one of the finest net minders in the college ranks. * * * VIC HEYLIGER, Wolverine coach, has termed this series with Minnesota a "must" series for the Wolverines. To offset the potency of the Minnesota trio, Heyliger plans to use the Keyes line whenever the Gophers send their top line to the ice. The defensive abili- ties of Captain John Matchefts, Earl Keyes, and Doug Philpott are just as strong as their of- fensive talents. This series will mark the fare- well of Keyes as a Wolverine. The ex-captain, who will long be re- membered as one of the Michigan greats, graduates at the end of the current semester. Ron Martinson's return to reg- ular action will definitely aid the Wolverines, weakened by the loss of McKennell and now Keyes. Martinson will take his regular turn on the third linewith ,Doug Mullen and Telly Mascarin. Bert Dunn, who up to now has played on this line will be cn- verted into a defenseman in order to lighten the load placed on Reg Shave, Alex McClellan, and Lou Paolatto since Jim Haas was con- verted into a forward. Michigan will have to win both games this week-end to keep pace with front running North Dakota, who have piled up 10 points in league play.

H"ST Cites. Hope; Gives FinalTalk WASHINTON-(P)-President Truman told the American people last night they are on the way to victory in the cold war with Soviet Russia without an atomic conflict that might "dig the grave of the free world and communism alike." "We have set the course that can win," he said. IN AN EMOTIONAL farewell address, broadcast from the White House by coast-to-coast radio and TV networks, the President de- clared his belief that American in- tervention in Korea has dashed Russia's hope of easy conquest and may have averted a third world war "as far ahead as man can see." And to those impatient with the world-wide struggle against communism-to those who ask, "Why don't we get it over with? Why don't we issue an ultimat- um, make an all-out war, drop the atomic bomb?"-Truman de- clared: "For most Americans, the an- swer is quite simple: we are not made that way. We are a moral people. Peace is our goal, and jus- tice and freedom. We cannot, of our own free will, violate the very principles that we are striving to defend. "The whole purpose of what we are doing is to prevent the World War III. Starting a war is no way to make peace. "But if anyone still thinks that just this once, bad means can bring good ends, then let me re- mind you of this: we are living in the eighth year of the atomic age. We are not the only nation that is learning to unleash the power of the atom. A third world war might dig the grave not only of our Com- munist opponents but also of our own society, our world as well as theirs."

Tidelands Oil FOR AFTER FINAL LULL: Entertainment Offered for Vacation Eisenhower May Cancel HSTOrder Truman Accused Of Spite, Revenge WASHINGTON-(P)-President Truman touched off a major storm yesterday with an eleventh- hour decision to turn the great oil wealth in offshore lands over to the U. S. Navy. Truman told his final news con- ference that before leaving office next Tuesday he will issue an executive order setting aside the offshore lands, often called the tidelands, as a Navy petroleum re- serve. ON CAPITOL HILL, legislators from coastal states affected by such an order promptly set up a roar of protest. Sen. Price Daniel (D-Tex.), former attorney general of Tex- as, called it an act of "personal spite and political revenge." Several senators confidently pre- dicted that President-elect Eisen- hower will reverse Truman's pro- jected order soon after taking the oath of office. During the campaign, Eisenhow- er came out in favor of state con- trol on off-shore oil. He won con- siderable supporthparticularly In Texas, by taking that stand in op- position to the view advocated by Gov. Adlai Stevenson, the Demo- cratic nominee. Stevenson favor- ed federal control., SOME INDUSTRY experts have estimated that the tidelands oil and gas resources have a potential value of roughly 4 billion dollars. The so-called tidelands are the marginal regions lying between low-tide line and the individual state's seaward boundaries. The latter usually extend to the three-milt limit, but reach out 10 miles in the cases of Texas and the Gulf coast of Florida because of special circumstances under which those states were admitted to the Union. Persistent reports had circulated on Capitol Hill for the last 10 days that Truman planned to set aside the tidelands as a Navy reserve. Anticipating such an order, Sen. Watkins (R-Utah) said it would be a "last-minute attempt by a lame duck executivetosembarrass his newly elected successor" Rushing Ends; IFC Discloses PledgeLists IFC's informal rushing program ends today for this semester with fraternities reporting 63 pledges.

Small Group Elects Heads Of UNESCO Stephen Jaffe, '54, was selected to head the campus UNESCO or- ganization yesterday at an unex- pectedly quiet meeting 'of the group. Earlier rumors had indicated the meeting would be packed by new members, anxious to prevent in- filtration of Labor Youth League elements in top positions of UN- ESCO. A secret report of LYL, re- vealed to the public in The Daily, indicated that Ethel Schectman, an avowed LYL member, might be a "shoo-in" for the group's pres- idency. However, only eight students joined UNESCO yesterday prior to elections. Only one person was placed in nomination for each UN- ESCO post. b.* * * A SPOKESMAN for the group told The Daily he could "have giv- en the new slate of officers a week ago." He also indicated pub- lication of the LYL report had been influential in selection of of- ficers for the spring semester. Although there were only 19 voting UNESCO members pres- ent, nearly 40 people gathered at the meeting in anticipation of fireworks.

That's the general campus opin- ion of the three week-between- semesters lull when a flock of en- tertainment is offered to students on campus.
